At least one bundle of U.S. weapons airdropped in Syria appears to have fallen into the hands of ISIS, a dangerous misfire in the American mission to speed aid to Kurdish forces making their stand in Kobani.
An ISIS-associated YouTube account posted a new video online Tuesday entitled, Weapons and munitions dropped by American planes and landed in the areas controlled by the Islamic State in Kobani. The video was also posted on the Twitter account of a3maq news, which acts as an unofficial media arm of ISIS. The outfit has previously posted videos of ISIS fighters firing American made Howitzer cannons and seizing marijuana fields in Syria. We feel very confident that, when we air drop support as we did into Kobani weve been able to hit the target in terms of reaching the people we want to reach, Rhodes told CNN. What I can assure people is that, when we are delivering aid now, we focus it on the people we want to receive that assistance. Those are civilians in need. Those are forces that were aligned with in the fight against ISIL [the governments preferred acronym for ISIS], and we take precautions to make sure that its not falling into the wrong hands.
Rhodes was responding to questions about a Monday report in The Daily Beast that U.S. humanitarian aid was flowing into ISIS controlled areas near Kobani by truck. That aid was mostly food and medical supplies, not the kind of lethal weapons in the new ISIS video.

Clown Prince nobola’s newly-formulated “strategy” is working!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
“I meant to do that!!!”
Just as Obama wanted it.
Delivery Confirmation. Obama is thrilled.
"I love it when a plan comes together."
Aside from a few useful idiots, I think it is almost entirely treason. The Obama Administration created, funded and trained ISIS. Now they continue to provide them with weapons.
Not intentional at all.../s
The truth is starting to become known even to the LIVs. The man is not a president. He is a plant.
amazing the worlds finest military making a mistake like this. Of course it wasn’t a mistake.
Will the media mock o for this? For Bush they would be joking about it.
so... they got the shipment?
good to know. having fedex recover lost merchandise is such a pain.
glad to see our men and women died so we can arm those that killed them.
thx ebama
Hope they use them on Turkey. ‘friends of the Bam’.
Obama’s version of the “brown delivery trucks!”
What can brown do for you?..................
Resupply by airdrop has usually ended in failure throughout history. There is not enough airplanes to drop the tonnages of supplies needed to keep a besieged force fed and fighting. Just ask the Germans at Stalingrad and the French at Dien Bien Phu.
In-fecking-credible....
Is there ANYTHING this country can do right anymore???????????
